5 Ingredient Jalapeno Enchilada Pizza Recipe

I hope that I can convey how delicious this 5 ingredient jalapeno enchilada pizza recipe is and that I can do this magnificent pizza justice. If you wanted to make a recipe from my Five Ingredient Friday’s series, this one would definitely be right at the top of my list.

I sometimes title recipes as “bests” here on the SweetPhi blog. Like the best pumpkin loaf, or the best turkey tacos. This pizza definitely falls in the “bests” category, so let me tel you the story of how this 5 ingredient pizza recipe came to be.

So you know how there are somethings that may seem ‘weird’ food wise? Like dipping fries into milkshakes. That combo is crazy good. Or like making Korean tacos, Asian food mixed with Mexican food? It just works.

Just like this pizza.

It’s crazy good and unexpected.

It started when we had cream cheese as a topping on pizza at a restaurant. We were hesitant to order it. Cream cheese. On a pizza? Ummm…weird. Cream cheese should be used as a bagel spread, or in a dip, right? RIGHT?

Well, when we tried the pizza, omg. It was so good. Was it the cream cheese? I had to try it out at home to see.

And yup, I’m here to tell you: pizza with cream cheese on top is the best.

OMG this totally is like a jalapeno popper in pizza form, love it! And this is so perfect for Sunday night football viewing, it’s kind of become a fave in our house. My hubby said I need to hide it after giving him a few pieces otherwise he’ll eat the whole thing lol.

I made this for dinner last night and my husband and I both LOVED it! This pizza will definitely be added to our Friday night easy meal rotation. I was able to assemble the pizza while my oven preheated, and then while the pizza was in the oven I threw together a quick arugula-cherry tomato-avocado salad to accompany it. Easy and delicious! I used pickled jalapeno slices because that’s what I had on hand (and I’m super sensitive to the fresh ones and inevitably end up with burning hands no matter how careful I am). We were also surprised how much we liked the *cheap) thin crust I picked up from Aldi. I’m excited that I now have an extra crust and enchilada sauce in the freezer waiting for the next time I make this!

Thank you SO MUCH for coming back and leaving this awesome comment! So happy you loved this pizza (your side salad sounds amazing) and good to know one can use pickled jalapeno slices, and about the thin crust from Aldi! Also great idea about freezing the leftover sauce, I’m totally going to do that!
